sites to post available opportunities and 

update site profiles. The HWC provides 

a central platform to connect 

participants, including but not limited 

to those in the NHSC, Nurse Corps, 

STAR, PS, Nursing Training, and 

THCGME programs with facilities that 

are approved for performance of their 

service obligation. The HWC has 

become a resource that connects any 

health care professional or student 

interested in providing primary care 

services in underserved communities 

with facilities in need of health care 

providers. The HWC also allows users to 

create a profile, search for approved 

sites, find job and training 

opportunities, and connect with other 

clinicians who are similarly interested 

in working with underserved 

populations. The HWC is searchable by 

Site POCs. Individuals can use the 

HWC’s search capability with Google 

Maps.

comments. 

Need and Proposed Use of the 

Information: Information will be 

collected from users in the following 

two ways: 

(1) Account Creation: For job seekers, 

creating an account is optional. To 

create an account the user must enter 

their first name, last name, and email 

address. Those mandatory fields will be 

used to send an automated email 

allowing the user to validate their login 

credentials. In addition, for job seekers 

participating in the programs listed 

above, their HWC account will be linked 

to their existing program file in the 

Bureau of Health Workforce 

Management Information Systems 

Solution database and allow an initial 

import of existing data at the request of 

the user. 

(2) Profile Completion: Users may fill 

out a profile, but this function will be 

optional and includes fields such as 

location, discipline, specialty, and 

languages spoken. The information 

collected, if published by the user, can 

be searched by approved Site POCs 

seeking potential candidates for health 

care job opportunities at their site. Job 

seekers also can set their security and 

privacy settings on their accounts to 

make their profiles searchable by other 

end users or private at any time. In 

addition, all information collected 

through the HWC will be stored within 

existing secure the Bureau of Health 

Workforce Management Information 

Systems Solution databases and will be 

used internally for report generation on 

an as-needed basis. 

Likely Respondents: Potential users 

include individuals searching for a 

health care job opportunity at a NHSC, 

Nurse Corps, STAR, PS, Nursing 

Training, or THCGME approved health 

care facility and health care facility 

POCs searching for potential candidates 

to fill open health care job opportunities 

at their sites. 

Burden Statement: Burden in this 

context means the time expended by 

persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

disclose, or provide the information 

requested. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; to 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purpose 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; to train 

personnel and to be able to respond to 

a collection of information; to search 

data sources; to complete and review 

the collection of information; and to 

transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. The total annual burden 

hours estimated for this ICR are 

summarized in the table below.

fulfill the duties of the Advisory 

Committee. The membership 

requirements are set forth in section 

2119 of the Public Health Service Act. 

ACCV consists of nine voting 

members appointed by the Secretary as 

follows: (1) three health professionals, 

who are not employees of the United 

States government, and who have 

expertise in the health care of children, 

the epidemiology, etiology, and 

prevention of childhood diseases, and 

the adverse reactions associated with 

vaccines, of whom at least two shall be 

pediatricians; (2) three members from 

the general public, of whom at least two 

shall be legal representatives (parents or 

guardians) of children who have 

suffered a vaccine-related injury or 

death; and (3) three attorneys, of whom 

at least one shall be an attorney whose 

specialty includes representation of 

persons who have suffered a vaccinerelated injury or death, and of whom 

one shall be an attorney whose specialty 

includes representation of vaccine 

manufacturers. In addition, the Director 

of the National Institutes of Health, the 

Assistant Secretary for Health, the 

Director of the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention, and the 

Commissioner of the Food and Drug 

Administration (or the designees of such 

officials) serve as nonvoting ex officio 

members. 

HHS will consider nominations of all 

qualified individuals to ensure the 

ACCV includes the areas of subject 

matter expertise noted above. As 

indicated above, at least two of the three 

ACCV members of the general public 

must be legal representatives (parents or 

guardians) of children who have 

suffered a vaccine-related injury or 

death. Because those members must be 

the legal representatives of children 

who have suffered a vaccine-related 

injury or death, to be considered for 

appointment to the ACCV in that 

category, there must have been a finding 

(i.e., a decision) by the U.S. Court of 

Federal Claims or a civil court that a 

VICP-covered vaccine caused, or was 

presumed to have caused, the 

represented child’s injury or death. 

Additionally, based on a 

recommendation made by ACCV, the 

Secretary will consider having a health 

professional with expertise in obstetrics 

as one of the members of the general 

public. Interested applicants may selfnominate or be nominated by another 

individual or organization. 

Individuals selected for appointment 

to ACCV will be invited to serve for 3 

years. Members are appointed as SGEs 

and receive a stipend and 

reimbursement for per diem and travel 

expenses incurred for attending ACCV 

meetings and/or conducting other 

business on behalf of ACCV, as 

authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5703 for persons 

employed intermittently in government 

service. 

The following information must be 

included in the package of materials 

submitted for each individual 

nominated for consideration: (1) a letter 

of nomination stating the name, 

affiliation, and contact information for 

the nominee, the basis for the 

nomination (i.e., what specific 

attributes, perspectives, and/or skills 

does the individual possess that would 

benefit the workings of the ACCV) and 

the nominee’s field(s) of expertise; (2) 

the name, address, daytime telephone 

number, and email address at which the 

nominator can be contacted; and (3) a 

current copy of the nominee’s 

curriculum vitae or resume. Nomination 

packages may be submitted directly by 

the individual being nominated or by 

the person/organization recommending 

the candidate. Nomination packages 

will be collected and retained to create 

a pool of possible future ACCV voting 

members. When a vacancy occurs, 

nomination packages from the 

appropriate category will be reviewed 

and nominees may be contacted at that 

time. 

HHS endeavors to ensure that ACCV’s 

membership is balanced in terms of 

points of view represented and that 

individuals from a broad representation 

of geographic areas, gender, and ethnic 

and minority groups, as well as 

individuals with disabilities, are 

considered for membership. 

Appointments shall be made without 

discrimination on the basis of age, 

disability, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual 

orientation, national origin, or cultural, 

religious, or socioeconomic status. 

Individuals who are selected to be 

considered for appointment will be 

required to provide detailed information 

regarding their financial holdings, 

consultancies, and research grants or 

contracts. Disclosure of this information 

is required for HRSA ethics officials to 

determine whether there is a potential 

conflict of interest between the SGE’s 

public duties as a member of ACCV and 

their private interests, including an 

appearance of a loss of impartiality as 

defined by federal laws and regulations, 

and to identify any required remedial 

action needed to address the potential 

conflict. 

Authority: Under the authorities that 

established the ACCV, the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act of October 6, 

1972, (Pub. L. 92–463, as amended) and 

the National Childhood Vaccine Injury 

Act (Pub. L. 99–660, as amended), 

HRSA is requesting nominations for 

voting members of ACCV.
